MORE COTTON BURNED.
Destruction of the Steamer Charles P. Chou

MEMPHIS Tenn, Nov. 23.1-A telegram to the
Associated Press from D0hcan Miss, on tho
line OF the louisville. New Orleans 6 Texas
railroad. reports the loss of the steamer Charles
p Choutesu. The vessel was burned last night
near Sunfower Landing, Miss. 150 miles below
Memphis. Her cargo at the time consisted of
45O0 bales of cotton and 1900 sacks of oil-cake.
Two of the crew are reported lost The steamer
was about to back out from the landing when
fire was discovered among the cotton. The lost
were German deck passenger and negro
named Jenkins, who one OF
her fremen. Seven race horses that were
on board were burned. The passengers lost
nearly all their clothes. When the alarm was
sounded the crew of the steamer made gallant
attempt to extinguish the flames, but they had
gained too great Roadway. The fire occurred
yesterday afternoon at o'clock Had it not
been discovered until after the boat left the
landing, nearly all on board would have per-
ished.
The Chouteau left Memphis last Saturday at
noon for New Orleans. She was the largest
cotton carrier afoat. and had engagements be-
low for full load of cotton, her carrying
pacity being about 8. 900 bales. Most of the cot
ton burned was taken on at Helena. Arkansas
and points below there in Mississippi

Sirs: About three months ago. noticing q
letter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure OF
his son by the use Of Halls Catsrrh Cure.
we were induced to commence the use Of
it for our daughter Nellie now ID years
old, who has been suffering from catarrb
for about eight years. during which time
she has been treated by one OF the best
physicians in the city. We have also tried
the use of almosttall the known remedies
for cstarrh. with no more success than
temporary relief Many nights we have
laid awake to hold her mouth open to
keep her from stranelng. Her hearing
had also become affected. We we're afraid
that she wsuld never recover We have
now used six bottles OF Hall's Catarrh Cure.
and we believe Nellie is entirely cured.
In few days after commencing the use OF
it we noticed decided change for the bet
ter, and from that right along she has i'm
proved, until now she breathes A. easily
as anyone She sleeps well and her hear
ing is perfectly good. We feel that the
disease is entirely removed. We write
this unsolicited letter. feeling that it ia
due you. and with the hope that many
others may be benefited in like manner.
We can hardly realize that snch change
could be effected 10 so short time after
battling with the disease 40 long We are
still using the remedy at intervals. as it
seems to build mp her system. You are
at liberty To use this in any manner you
see propsr. W. are yours truly.
